Gerald Abbott, M.D., is currently conducting a study of the chronic effects of smoke inhalation in a group of survivors of a catastrophic night club fire. The study utilizes high-resolution CT scans of the lungs obtained during inspiration and expiration in order to detect evidence of small airway obstruction and other changes in the lungs that are related to smoke exposure. Dr. Abbott is also a principal investigator in this region for the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), a study that is designed to prove whether or not the early detection of lung cancer by CT has a beneficial effect on the rate of mortality from lung cancer.
